The day's route starts by crossing a small ridge and descending to the valley below. The steep climb up the Ailanysh Pass at 3676m offers incredible views and a complete change of scenery as you descend a much easier slope down to the valley. Exhausted from a long day hike, there are lots of places to set up camp along the beautiful Ak-Suu river.
